In this course, interdisciplinary teams of students design and lead research and design projects to develop and evaluate solutions to current societal problems using cross-disciplinary methods. Students identify important unsolved problems at the nexus of Food-Water-Climate, justify their relevance to the scientific and broader community, design and carry out valid studies or prototype designs that leverage their distributed expertise, assess the impact of their work, communicate new insight to stakeholders, and reflect on how their experiences contribute to their educational growth. This course meets Integrative Experience requirements IE2 and IE3.
